    AoS 2 - Gloomspite Gitz Discussion

    in Destruction

    Posted

    Hey all:

    Quick question for all you Gitz experts. Long time player and poster with several other armies, I have picked up some of the new models and am putting a Gitz army together.  I am mostly a casual player but I do go to about 2-3 tourneys a year.  I am drawn to the new squig models and am leaning toward a squig based list.  However, just a quick glance at the book and the online discussions gives me the impression that the better/competitive lists all center around hoards of Stabbas or Spiders. Not all that concerned, will probably still go squig heavy, just trying to get a feel for what I am getting into before I commit too much more hobby cash/time.

    Two more Serfs for the levies, then took a break from the Ghoul slog and built this bad boy. I was not all that impressed when I first saw the model, but after getting it in my hands I have to say it is awesome. Maybe one of my all time favorite sculpts, just went and ebayed two more!

    New FEC Tome List Thread

    Is there a 1-Drop FEC build?  

    We can realistically get down to 3-4, depending on how many heroes you want with a couple, either Ghoul Patrol and Deathwatch.  This will get you down low enough to get under most lists and would be enough in my opinion.

    I think for most people the answer lies in their local meta, going with 3 drops list was really good for me, also if we look at my list than it relies on the battalion to get CPs from artefact and surprisingly I've been using outflank in every game. I think going vanilla with big units supported by courtiers and abhorrants can be the right way to play without battalions.

    I honestly think this will be a big concern for us at the highest competitive level.  I played a game yesterday against a heavy shooting SCE list and had one of my regents snipped turn one and almost lost the other, could have if the dice had rolled super well for the SCE player. The same concerns apply to big alpha strike lists. Its hard to screen with only big fatties and a good alpha strike can wipe out a couple regents.  Getting a low drop and making sure you get your regents' summons off could be a huge concern if the meta takes a big turn toward shooting (I am looking at you Skaven).

    Is the Arcasanctorian Guard battalion from Carrion Empire legal in matched play? It has points (110) but doesn’t appear on Warscroll Builder.

    Unfortunately not. 

    Here is the quote from the main Errata:

    Q: Some units and battalions have a warscroll, but the warscroll does not have a Pitched Battle profile. Can I use these units or battalions in a Pitched Battle game?

    A: No. These units and battalions are only intended for use in open or narrative play games

    Maybe I am still stuck in the pre-new book mindset but I have trouble going with the battleline TG and ZD. Before the new book the only real strength of the army was our summoning. The only lists that did well leveraged our big guys, yes because they were somewhat good on their own but mainly because they summoned in a bunch of extra points. I can't help but think that is still the case.  When I look at running 3 bare TG (because it is just probable better that the ZD) all I can think about is if I add another 100 points it will add another cheap caster AND let me summon in another 160 points.  It just seems that the way for us to be competitive is with summoning, and the TG/ZD battleline 900 point sink seems to distract from that.  Of course this is all just conjecture based on, as I said pre-new book experience. Need to grind some games to get a real feel, but I think breaking summoning will be our best bet, like it was before.

    Not to get anyones hopes up but there is a seraphon paint set up for pre order along side a khorne one. We know Khorne is next so maybe a book is coming. Although there is also a nurgle paint set and a standard chaos one so who knows

    AdeptiCon is March 27th - 31st so we should get some pretty big showtime then.

    WOW. They changed the Crusading Delusion, it is now just a +1 to Run and Charge rolls. However, that does not matter as they have another Delusion that lets you use Feeding Frenzy (our new command ability) once per turn without using a CP, that seems to be the one you will take every time anyway. This seems soooooooooo good.

    i hope with new summon they dont take away vargulf and ghast healing.. if not we are never be realy dead...

    and i think they dont remove "summon once per game" so we dont care about CP with throne or without..

    I am not sure about the not caring about CPs.  With all our summoning and the new Feeding Frenzy I think our army will be super Command point hungry.

    That's my thought on it as well. The Wall will be a solid defensive spell as long as its cheap. I was really hoping that the throne helped our casting out when we were near it, but we are still gonna be outmatched by some armies.  (read: popular armies atm. Gitz and LoN)

    Yea getting our spells off will be key.  I am seriously thinking about taking an allied corpse cart for the +1 to cast. It's cheap (80) and fits aesthetically and narratively with the army.

    So question, if they start their move within 3" but end their move outside of 3. Does it recheck to see if they are in when they charge? or does it count for the entire round?

     

    I would say the moves are different and it checks at the start of each.  However, for charge blocking it seems real easy to put it in front of a unit 3 inches away, then after it takes its reduced movement forward its still within 3 inches in the charge phase to get shafted again.

    With Skaven and FEC getting new books my only other neglected faction is the Vamps.  If we get a new book I would be ecstatic.  Besides new models of course (I am looking at you Bloodknights), my big wish is to have some more battleline  options.  From a narrative perspective I hate taking Zombie or Skeletons for batteline (Direwolves are ok, especially if you use the 40K ones that are less zombified). Give me supped up Fell Bats and Bat Swarms, or maybe even Vargheists battleline and I am a happy man.
